It's been five days and four nights and we are so far enjoying it. Our trip to River City was a challenging and exciting one! On Saturday morning Kevin's mother Beverly and her boyfriend Don joined us at the boatyard to bring Cygnet home. We had decent weather, mostly cloudy and cool but calm. We were thankful it wasn't a horrid windy and stormy day. With a few things we needed to get through the coming week and the four of us on board we started her up and prepared to set off. Kevin has never piloted a twin engine boat before and was a bit nervous. He's a good driver and knows how to handle a smaller vessel, but this was much larger than anything he's had on the water. He's a quick study and watched the previous owner when we went on the sea trial and talked to some experienced captains about handling a big twin like this. Plus Don was there, a seasoned fisherman who has owned many boats (Including Two Wrights) and fished from many more....
